Free Download John Morrow, "British Flag Officers in the French Wars, 1793-1815: Admirals’ Lives"
English | ISBN: 1474277675 | 2018 | 352 pages | PDF | 7 MB
During the French wars (1793-1801, 1803-1815) the system of promotion to flag rank in the Royal Navy produced a cadre of admirals numbering more than two hundred at its peak. These officers competed vigorously for a limited number of appointments at sea and for the high honours and significant financial rewards open to successful naval commanders. When on active service admirals faced formidable challenges arising from the Navy’s critical role in a global conflict, from the extraordinary scope of their responsibilities, and from intense political, public and professional expectations. While a great deal has been written about admirals’ roles in naval operations, other aspects of their professional lives have not been explored systematically.

Free Download Peter Bergen, "Understanding the New Proxy Wars: Battlegrounds and Strategies Reshaping the Greater Middle East"
English | ISBN: 0197673597 | 2022 | 416 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Proxy warfare will shape the conflicts of the twenty-first century for the foreseeable future. Yet the popular understanding of proxy wars remains largely shaped by the experience of the Cold War. In reality, in the Greater Middle East and its periphery today, the growing power of regional states and non-state actors, combined with the proliferation of new technology, has reshaped proxy conflicts, in an increasingly multipolar and interconnected environment.

Free Download Procopius of Caesarea: The Persian Wars: A Historical Commentary
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1107053226 | 881 Pages | PDF | 14 MB
Procopius was the major historian of the reign of Justinian and one of the most important historians of Late Antiquity. This is the first extensive commentary on his Persian Wars since the nineteenth century. The work is among the most varied of the author, incorporating the history and geography not only of Mesopotamia and the Caucasus, but also of southern Arabia and Ethiopia, Iran and Central Asia, and Constantinople itself. Each major section is introduced by a section on the history of the events concerned and on the treatment of these events by Procopius and other sources. The volume is equipped with an introduction, three appendices, and numerous maps and plans. All sections of the work that are commented on are translated. The book will therefore be of use to specialists and the general reader alike. A complete translation of the work, with lighter annotation, is being published separately.

Free Download William Pannell, "The Coming Race Wars: A Cry for Justice, from Civil Rights to Black Lives Matter"
English | ISBN: 0830831754 | 2021 | 184 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
In the wake of the 1992 Los Angeles riots, Fuller Seminary theologian William Pannell decried the sentiment among white evangelicals that racism was no longer an urgent matter. In The Coming Race Wars? he meticulously unpacked reasons why our nation―and the church―needed to come to terms with our complicity in America’s racial transgressions before we face a more dire reckoning. Pannell was among a small number of Black evangelical leaders at the time who called the evangelical church to account on issues of racial justice. Now, nearly thirty years later, his words are as timely as ever. Some would even argue that the "race war" he predicted has arrived.
